Chapter 150 An Impossible Task
Chapter 150 An Impossible Task
Shortly after Lin Tian scored, the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
Fifteen minutes later, the break ended, and the second half resumed.
The midfield kickoff was this time taken by Lin Tian's team.
After discussing, Lin Tian took the kickoff.
With the sound of the whistle, Lin Tian nudged the football forward, then hesitated for a moment and lifted his head to look at the goal. At that moment, Lin Tian noticed that, maybe because the game had just restarted, the opposing goalkeeper was somewhat far from the goal.
Seeing this scene, an idea flashed through Lin Tian's mind. Then his muscles tensed up, and he kicked the ball fiercely with his right foot!
Bang!
With the sound of the booming noise, everyone was stunned!
The football whistled as it flew forward!
This is…
The sudden move from Lin Tian left everyone shocked, what was he doing?
Was it a shot at goal?
But wasn't that too exaggerated? Shooting from midfield?
After a moment of shock, everyone lifted their heads to watch the ball in the air.
At this time, the foreign team's goalkeeper was still twisting his waist, but suddenly, he felt that something was off in the atmosphere.
Why was everyone looking up at the sky?
The goalkeeper instinctively looked up.
As he did, a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The football!
He saw a white football whistling past him towards his goal.
Seeing this scene, he was scared out of his wits and hurriedly turned to chase the ball!
But it was too late. As he turned, the football smashed into the grass, then quickly rebounded into the net.
Thump! Thump!
The football bounced around inside the goal.
Silence!
The scene was utterly silent!
No one expected this development.
Beep!
After a brief silence, the referee's whistle sounded—the goal was valid!
"Yeah! Too cool!" Cheers erupted from the crowd, and all Lin Tian's teammates excitedly rushed towards him.
After a celebration, the game resumed, with the opposing team kicking off.
Possibly provoked by Lin Tian, the foreign team played with utmost seriousness, their passing and movement flawless.
Lin Tian's side, being technically inferior, quickly gave away opportunities due to the opposing team's constant attacks, and their number one forward poked the ball right into Lin Tian's goal.
Five to three!
That goal once again struck a blow to the confidence of Lin Tian's team.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tian also grew anxious. He had to win, not just to earn Supernatural Points but also because failing to do so would mean losing two of them—a result Lin Tian could not accept.
So Lin Tian fought back with vigor, but his efforts were in vain as the opposition marked him closely, giving him no chance.
Five minutes later, Lin Tian finally spotted an opportunity, but it was difficult to break through as he was surrounded by a circle of defenders.
Glancing at his current position, he was about thirty meters away from the opponent's goal.
Let's do this!
He gritted his teeth!
Lin Tian lashed out with his foot!
Whoosh!
The football screamed away, like a cannonball!
Bang!
Even though the opposing goalkeeper did his best to jump, just as his hand was about to touch the ball, the football took a wicked turn!
A crescent kick!
Bang!
The football smashed fiercely into the white net!
Beep!
The referee's whistle sounded, indicating the goal was valid!
Five to four! Only trailing by one goal now.
The following part of the match remained tense.
The foreign team couldn't defend against Lin Tian, while Lin Tian's team couldn't stop the opponents' collective offense.
The score of both teams was deadlocked.
Five to five!
Six to five!
Six to six!
Seven to six!
Seven to seven!
By the end of the game, the score was tied at seven to seven, and out of those points, Lin Tian had scored six himself.
It was essentially Lin Tian against an entire team.
In the last minute of the game, Lin Tianyi hit the ball against the opponent's crossbar, then executed a perfect bicycle kick that sent the soccer ball back into play.
Goal!
Seven to eight.
After Lin Tian scored that goal, the opposing team failed to score again until the end of the match.
The score was set at seven to eight!
As the referee's whistle indicated the end of the game, an electronic synthesized voice instantly rang out in Lin Tian's mind, "Super Serial Task: The fourth mini-task of helping Shen Mengyi win the soccer game has been completed. Task reward: One Supernatural Point."
The moment he heard the voice, Lin Tian took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "That was not easy!"
It really wasn't easy!
At one point, Lin Tian thought he might fail, with the opposing team being so strong, he wasn't very confident.
But in any case, he had finally won in the end.
After the match, a celebration followed.
Then Lin Tian, along with his three roommates and Shen Mengyi, headed to the cafeteria restaurant.
It was almost six by then, and the cafeteria was running out of food. Shen Mengyi, to show her gratitude to Lin Tian, offered to treat him to dinner.
Hearing this, Lin Tian's three roommates shamelessly insisted on tagging along. Out of options, Shen Mengyi reluctantly agreed to include them.
On the way to the restaurant, Shen Mengyi looked curiously at Lin Tian, who was wiping his sweat with a tissue, and asked, "Lin Tian, you're pretty good, huh!"
"What?" Lin Tian took out a tissue, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then paused, turning his head with a look of surprise.
"I'm saying you're quite impressive. You stole the show at the style competition, and I heard you did some 'Light Art Skimming on Water' yesterday? Plus, your soccer skills are amazing! Not bad at all!" said Shen Mengyi, looking at Lin Tian curiously. She found this slightly perverted guy to be quite talented.
Hearing Shen Mengyi's praise, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and tossed his hair without any modesty, "Who am I? Even though I've retired from Jianghu, my legend still lives there! There's nothing in Jianghu I can't do!"
"Yeah, right! Keep bragging!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes at Lin Tian.
"Don't believe me? Name something for me to do right now!" Lin Tian chuckled.
Sweeping Lin Tian with a look of speechlessness and glancing at the nearly setting sun, Shen Mengyi pointed, "Then make that sun disappear!"
Ding!
As soon as Shen Mengyi finished speaking, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian's mind: "Super Serial Task: The fifth mini-task to fulfill Shen Mengyi's wish, annihilate the sun. Task reward: One Supernatural Point. Task failure: Deduction of two Supernatural Points. Note: This task must be completed within one day. If not completed within the stipulated time, it will be considered a failure."
"What the hell!" Lin Tian swore suddenly after a moment of shock.
This mission is downright impossible, right?
Annihilate the sun? My God! How could that be possible!
"What's wrong with you! Why are you cursing!" Lin Tian's sudden swearing drew disapproval from Shen Mengyi beside him.
"Ah?" Lin Tian blinked, then quickly came back to reality with a grimacing face, "No, it wasn't directed at you!"
"Then who are you swearing at?" Shen Mengyi asked indignantly. She thought Lin Tian was being excessive.
"I'm cursing it!" Lin Tian said, pointing at the sunset in the sky.
"Huh?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback by Lin Tian's words. What did he mean?
Suffering, Lin Tian explained, "I'm cursing it for being so big and powerful. I can't destroy it and fulfill your wish!"
Shen Mengyi laughed at Lin Tian's expression, patting his shoulder, "It's okay, I was just kidding! But you do look pretty funny!"
Lin Tian's face dropped, full of gloom.
You were joking? But the system isn't joking.
Thinking about this task left Lin Tian speechless.
I've gone too far!
This bluff was too big!
Lin Tian never imagined an offhand remark would bring about such a task.
Destroy the sun?
That's just ridiculous! Even if he managed to destroy the sun, it might not even get destroyed.
"What the heck, am I really going to fail this task?" Lin Tian thought, utterly despondent.
With his mind preoccupied, Lin Tian was somewhat absent-minded during dinner. He pondered if there was any way to complete this task.
It was impossible to really destroy the sun.
He'd have to be out of his mind to attempt such a thing. Besides, even if he wanted to, he didn't have the power to do it.
With a day left to finish the task, Lin Tian tried all sorts of things.
He dabbled with special effects, photoshopped himself in, and virtually destroyed the sun on his computer. Stay tuned to empire
But it was utterly useless.
Then Lin Tian went out of his way to make a fake sun and destroyed that.
Still, no use at all!
Lin Tian continued to experiment in various ways, but they all ended in failure.
The day quickly passed by.
Watching time slip away, Lin Tian felt helpless.
He tried every possible method, but it was all in vain.
Ding!
When the time was up, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian's mind: "Super..."
